Second Chance for Greyhounds
Southwest Florida's Greyhound Adoption Program
since 1985
Helen Banks, Proprietor

Last update:

Dogs adopted through Second Chance for Greyhounds come off the track at Bonita Springs, between Fort Myers and Naples, Florida. They are selected by Helen Banks, proprietor of Second Chance for Greyhounds, and matched with owners who demonstrate their understanding of the needs and behavior of Greyhounds. Banks, who now lives in North Carolina, and her associates have arranged for the adoption of more than 9,000 Greyhounds during the time she has been running Second Chance for Greyhounds.

Fun at Doggie Do Day at the Village on Sanibel

Fort Myers, Florida area greyhound owners gathered recently with other dog owners at the Village Shops, a shopping area on Sanibel Island, for a "Doggie Do." Second Chance proprietor, Helen Banks, was there to talk with non-owners who were interested in rescue adoptions. Part of the festivities included a Parade down the island's footpath. Here are some candid shots.

"We have adopted three Greyhounds through Helen's Second Chance for Greyhounds. All have been wonderful, docile pets that are quick to bond and, after a brief training period, very obedient. We have loved all our dogs and feel that our love has been reciprocated everyday. If you are interested in adopting a Greyhound, you can't do better than Second Chance for Greyhounds in Southwest Florida."
